Is everyone changing plugs every 10k?

The Truck has 114,000 and is a 1993 with a 460Ci in it.
The oil begins to discolor rather quickly.

Each engine is different.
Each vehicle is used differently.
Each one has different needs.
That is why I let my cars tell me what they need and when they need it to keep running right.

I see... that makes sense.
You can hear your cars telling you stuff?
Hmmm... so... you are kinda... a car whisperer?

My 2001 base has 133k+ miles. The oil is usually very dark. I just changed the oil with the AOS job. I will keep a monthly record this time to see if I can see the discolor in progress. Thank you.

I figure my miles per gallon with every fill-up.
I have done that for 50+ years.
If my gas mileage is down...then why is it down?????
Is it fall a or winter instead of spring or summer???
Engine takes longer to to warm up when it's colder.
so it will stay on open loop longer (rich mixture).

I don't text or talk on the phone or what ever when I am driving.
I drive my car when I am driving.

See, Hear, feel, smell, taste your car when you drive it.
